Dad had his first "dinner" tonight. It included a spread of pureed foods - roast beef, corn, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and jello. He told the nurse the beef was "bland" but seemed to enjoy the jello. He ate a good amount, despite how awful it looked.
Mom and Jacki grabbed dinner and created a list of an additional nine questions for the nurses in the stroke ward. Don't worry - we are following mom's "p's" - personable, polite, persistent, and patient. They love us!
Dad was pretty tired tonight after a long day of occupational therapy, physical therapy, being moved to the stroke ward, and two meals. Although he is confused from time to time, he is getting stronger every day. We are hopeful for another good morning tomorrow.
Good night from Sioux City. As always, thank you for your continued prayers, positive energy, and supportive thoughts.
